Just days after the chaotic shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a bombshell 2017 ABC7 Los Angeles news clip has exploded across the internet. It shows Second Lady Usha Vance and the accused gunman Cole Thomas appearing together — years before Thomas allegedly tried to storm the D.C. Hilton ballroom.
The resurfaced footage from the “Aging into the Future” tech conference features a young Cole Thomas demonstrating a wheelchair safety prototype as a bright-eyed Caltech engineering student.
Social media sleuths have now zeroed in on Usha Chilukuri (now the Second Lady Usha Vance) appearing in the same broadcast package with Thomas. They knew each other?

What are the odds? But wait, it gets way weirder.
Iran Release Proof Mossad and Erika Kirk Planned 'False Flag' Trump Shooting
This isn’t the first “random” Trump assassination attempt tied to suspicious video appearances. Remember Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who opened fire at Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally in 2024? He was featured in a BlackRock promotional video.
Then came the second attempt on the golf course: Ryan Routh, the suspect who hid with a rifle and scope. Viral claims immediately exploded that Routh also appeared in a BlackRock ad. Why do these “lone wolf” Trump attackers keep popping up in elite-tied propaganda footage?
Two different Trump assassination suspects. Two different attempts. Both popping up in BlackRock propaganda films.
What are the odds of that happening twice? One in a trillion? One in a googol? Or is BlackRock — the world’s largest asset manager with tentacles deep inside Washington, Big Tech, and global finance — somehow connected to these “lone wolf” operations?
Many are already calling the DC Hilton shooting staged.
According to former CIA agent Larry Johnson, the Secret Service intentionally broke protocol, rescuing Vice President JD Vance first while leaving Trump behind.
He says that the Washington establishment is orchestrating pure theater.
